So, I'm going to go do some thinking.

After the Purple Demon King, who was puzzled by the order of the pieces, he moved toward his friends and summoned Rakura and Wolfe.

Lakra is in a normal state of mind, and Wolfe is in a very motivated state of mind.

However, there are some concerns about this match, especially with Wolfe.

We've heard that she's been trained by Gladna to become stronger, but the extent of her training is unknown.

In a sense, he is in a more mysterious position than his opponent.

In the past, he had struggled against the dark side of Mejis, and had only managed to strike a heartening blow against Parshuro.

What about his opponent this time? If it's his right leg, should he be considered an equal to Parshuro?

However, as for the 'ears', it would certainly be equal to Ramugresca's 'nose'.

If it's purely defensive, it's probably better than Exoik, but I don't want to push it too hard.

"Wulfe, Lakra, let me tell you the plan, or rather the objective. I'll tell you what the plan is.

Thank you, sir!

Once that's accomplished, the rest is up to you. If it's too tight, give the signal immediately. I surrender immediately.

All right, I'll take it!

I appreciate your will to win, but I don't want to give up when you're dying. Your safety is paramount.

Excuse me, Master Shosho? Is there anything you want to tell me?

No, I trust you the most when it comes to your abilities and your ability to take things easy. Take care of our objectives and Wolfe.

I can't tell if I'm happy or sad.

I'll explain our objective and what we should do first, and the two of us will head to the center of the square.

Two large demons are already lined up in the center.

In the center of the square, there are already two great demons, the "Roaring Right Legs" of Zaspenfosse and the "Brilliant Ears" of Baragwelyn, once the most powerful demon in the world.

Baragwerin, the "Wise Ear," is the only demon in existence that has been a senior demon since the time of Yugra.

In other words, he is the oldest great demon.

The strength of a demon is proportional to the absolute amount of magical power it has acquired, and the demon that has lived the longest is, of course, one of the strongest.

Even if Duvraeori loses his position as the strongest due to the difference in loyalty, his strength will not be shaken.

While Zaspenfosse has already revealed himself as a great demon, Balaguerin is still standing in his human form, fully dressed in his butler's uniform.

He has an all-back hairdo, pointed ears, and a devilishly well-developed face, even in human form.

The aura of a strong man is really strong.

Two females, I was hoping to have a match with the legacy of Beguragud who defeated Ramugresca, but I guess that won't happen with the way they look.

It seems so. I don't think we can move that many people in one day.

I'm afraid so, I can't move with that many people. It's not all bad.

"You guys are always talking about this great demon, Vegragudo, but I don't really feel it.

It's not surprising if he can kill a forked druk, but Beguragud was one of the great demons I had my eye on.

I'm not interested in that, so you don't have to tell me about it.

I'm not interested, so you don't have to tell me." Lakra replied nonchalantly, while Balaguerin smiled unperturbed.

Zaspenfosse remains quiet, either because of his reticent nature or because he is too afraid of Baragweelin to speak.

Wolfe, too, looks at Baraguelin quietly, as if he has no intention of talking to his enemy.

'Well, then, let me tell you something of interest. Your chieftain, that man seems to be quite intelligent. He's been studying me very closely.

He seems to be the type of person who looks at you and evaluates you without taking you lightly.

To be honest, I don't want to deal with such people, because they are difficult to exploit.

"My hearing is a little better than most demons, and I've heard your conversation. "I overheard your conversation, and it seems you were talking about 'going after Balaguerin as soon as it starts,' to bring about a short battle.

"Eavesdropping on people's conversations is in poor taste, devil.

"Don't blame me, my ears are only good for hearing and I don't have the unique powers of other demons. If I didn't show off this much, I'd lose my reputation as 'The Wise Ear'.

Yes, Barragwayne is known as the "Wise Ear," but his ears only have high hearing.

However, the reason why he is still considered the strongest is because of his pure strength.

The Purple Demon Lord has further strengthened him, and he is a monster with simple specifications.

"Well, that's not all. "Now, that's not all. That man gave you other instructions in writing while he was talking to you, like 'buy as much time as possible,' correct?

I look at the parchment in my hand, and it matches the writing on the edge of the parchment.

What kind of hearing are you talking about?

It's amazing that you can even understand human writing.

"It's unnecessary knowledge if you're just following a demon, but if you live long enough, you'll develop some caution towards humans. Get as much information about me as you can, and if possible, attack it later. If not, they'll avoid me. The principle is still unclear, but if you have the ability to read the layout of the Lord's pieces, it may be possible.

I'm just doing what I'm told.

That's fine. Now that the trick is out of the way, let's have some fun, shall we?

"Then let us begin.

Duvvleoris intervenes and asks them to prepare for the start.

The air feels dry and crisp.

I put on my metahuman glasses and am ready to watch.

I have the mix standing by to intervene.

After confirming each other's readiness, the signal to begin is given.

"Let the games begin!

The one who moved with the start signal was Wolfe, who used his magic power to charge forward.

The destination is: Sachsenfosse, my fingerprints are all over it.

"What?

The two large demons, who had been caught by surprise, were already too late to react.

The two demons are already too late to react. Lakra has set up a ward between them, and there will be a slight lag even if they try to break through.

It is true that when I talked to Lakra and the others, I wrote "buy maximum time".

However, he had already considered the possibility that Baragwayne, who was said to have "a good ear," would not miss the sound.

That's why I made a farce of it beforehand, showing him a parchment that said, 'Kill the right leg as fast as you can.

The speed of Wolfe's thrust was much faster than he had imagined, faster than even Ramugresca.

This means that the first attack can be taken, and if Sachsenfosse evades or defends himself, Lakra can follow up.

If we can defeat one of them quickly, we can challenge Barragwayne with two of them at once, and get more information out of him.

"It looks like we've been outwitted. But it's not enough.

The superhuman glasses allowed him to concentrate to the fullest extent, and he managed to catch Wolfe's rush in his field of vision.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

------------------------------------

A Tarzan merchant who runs a respectable trading post in a wealthy neighborhood, Ban is tending to an old friend.

He is the "Fist Saint" Gladna, a hero of history who has defeated many unique kinds of demons.

But now he's an old drunkard, and he's in bed with a back injury.

Burn, give me a drink.

"Hey, ......, you're injured, can you please sit still?

Ban sighs at Gladna's disheveled appearance in a somewhat broken tone that is different from his usual mild tone.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

"Shut up, I can't do this without drinking.

"How dare you when you hurt your back training with a new disciple?

It's been a long time since he's listened to me, so the best thing to do is to give him a drink and let him sleep.

"All right, that'll take the pain away.

He's in a lot of trouble right now, you could at least help him out as a Fist Saint.

"I don't need you anymore. Ulf is all I need.

You seem to be buying the kid.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to use it for a lot of things.

Everyone knew that she was very talented, which is why they thought it would be natural for her to receive instruction from the Fist Saint.

"......

Gladna swallowed her drink in one gulp and let out a big burp.

Van makes a face of disgust and takes out the next bottle.

I've done enough to go down in history. I did it because I had more talent than most people.

That's true.

Of course I worked hard, I fully exploited my talents and I made it big.

I know.

But it wasn't until I got older that I realized... I didn't have any talent. I was just an ordinary guy compared to a legend like Yugra, who only made a name for himself in history. ......

How do you say that?

What do you mean by that? - Urubon, you surpassed me a long time ago. Even in my prime.

------------------------------------

It was impossible for me to understand what had happened.

All I could see was that Baragwayne had blocked the path of Wolfe's surprise attack.

But the next time I saw the situation, those perceptions confused my thinking.

"...... What have you done, girl?

Baragwayne's position hadn't changed at all.

Lakra's position is the same, her mouth open with a look of surprise on her face.

What is different is the position of Wolfe and Zaspenfosse.

Zaspenfosse was already dead, its head torn from its body.

The head is in Wolfe's hand.

I was in the way, so I went around.

Wolfe tosses aside the head of the Zaspenfosse as an unwanted object.

At the same time, the body of the standing Zaspenfosse fell to the ground.

I could follow it with my eyes. I'm asking about the unusual acceleration.

Here's what I did.

Wolfe released a small amount of magic from his gauntlet, and the next moment it exploded out.

The momentum caused Wolfe's hand to momentarily disappear from view.

He was releasing magic to propel himself, but then suddenly he burst the magic and accelerated even more. ...... That's an interesting technique. Can you tell me your name?

Wolfe, sir.

Wolfe. I remember that name.

--It's time to calmly analyze the situation.

All we know is that Wolfe killed Zaspenfosse in an instant.

Everyone's stunned by that.

Oh, no, only the Iliad seems happy about it.

I've been wondering how much of Gladna's training has gone into this, and I can tell you it's more than I expected.

I take off my metahuman glasses for a moment.

"Mix, did you see that move?

No, that's totally ...... Wolfe's ...... thing, isn't it?

Oh, that's a surprise.

No, no, no, it's not a surprise. ......

Oh, Lakra is looking at me, her mouth is agape.

Mixu notices this and translates for me using lip-reading.

"Shou-shou-sama-ko-rei-dou-suru-no-de-no-oka?

That's not what I want to know.

As was the case with Eckdruk's "Blind Eye," I feel that you should not be pumping out information that people do not know.

However, judging by his current movements, the Wolfe's current specs are more than I can imagine, and this is the best chance to get information out of Baragwayne.

"Mix, I'll let Wolfe handle this. "Mixu, I'll leave it to Wolfe here, but if he starts to get overwhelmed at all, he can surrender immediately, and I'll leave the decision up to you. Tell Lakra to keep an eye out.

I understand. I'll tell Mister Lakra that. What about your friend?

We have more options, so we'll have to rethink our plan a bit.

It's a nice miscalculation, but a miscalculation is a miscalculation.

I'm not sure if the superhuman glasses will help.

You'll be able to get a lot more than just a pair of glasses.

------------------------------------

When the brave Yugra came to deal with the Lord as an enemy, I, being somewhat intelligent, abandoned him and fled.

And I grew into a great demon before any other.

I acted before the others, and here I am now.

When I became the first great demon, I felt lonely rather than superior.

I thought how boring it would be to have no one to share the same point of view with.

After a while, a new Great Demon was born, and I remember feeling much calmer at that time.

At last there would be someone to stand next to me, someone equal to talk to, fight with, and compete in value with.

I thought so, but every great demon shunned me.

The only one who tried to come close to me was Beguragud, but he died before he could grow up.

And then this happened.

When the Lord gave me too much power, I honestly sighed.

What was I supposed to do with more power when my life in the demon world was so boring?

But Duvraeus, who had been so loyal to me, had surpassed me, and I was looking forward to this.

When I was done, I would challenge him to a fight, if he had passed the same height as me.

I had planned to betray the Lord for that.

But now a happy miscalculation has befallen me.

The subhuman in front of me, Wolfe.

I'd heard that he was insignificant, but I'd been lied to.

This thing can kill me, and if I don't face it with all my might, it will be me who dies.

It only took a moment, but it reacted to my movement, and yet it ignored me and carried out its mission.

What strength, indeed, is inspiring.

Come on, come on, come on, get me going!

"My name is Balaguerin, the Bright-Eared, and if you can defeat me, you should be proud of it. 

"Here we go!

He steps forward again, his hands and feet equipped with magic power.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

If you get in the necessary distance, you can be sure--there's a burst of magic and sudden acceleration!

There it is!

You've got to be able to anticipate his movements as he's about to disappear from your sight, and you've got to be able to feel his fist right next to you.

But it was too light. I moved my head and eyes to check the situation.

At the same time, I notice that my body is floating in the air.

In some way, he had killed the power of my fist and used its momentum to throw me.

That was fun!

The fact that I was thrown into the air didn't hinder me, I could kick faster than that.

Just as I was about to hit him with my leg, he disappeared from my sight again.

Where is he? If he's out of sight, he's out of sight somewhere.

I sharpened my senses and there he is, circling behind me.

If he's behind me in the air, that means he's flying, and he can't move well in the air.

Ignoring the legs that have nowhere to go, I silence the screaming body and forcefully swing my right arm behind me.

This will not hit.

The momentum of the backfist caused my body to spin and my vision to turn to the back, there he was, he was definitely behind me.

But he's far away. He was right behind me, but now he's two bodies away.

I think I'm floating... so I've accelerated another level in the air.

We're eye to eye, there's no doubt about it, the next possible move is to accelerate and attack me from the air.

I'm already out of position from the kick and the fist, so there's no way for me to avoid it.

I use my remaining arm as a shield and prepare to defend.

If I can grab it, good. If I can't, I can take advantage of the opportunity to recover by destroying one arm.

If I can't, I can destroy one of his arms and take the opportunity to regain my footing. After accelerating and charging, it won't be easy to move further, and the momentum will bring my body to the ground.

If I'm in close contact with him, my attack can easily reach him, and that's where I'll aim.

Now come on, swing your right fist at me!

It's accelerated, great speed, it could break my left arm, but it's a necessary sacrifice.

Oh, that's too fast--

------------------------------------

Wolfe lunges forward, and for a brief moment there seems to be a battle, but you can't see it with your eyes, only the result is shown.

You'll be able to see the result of the attack.

Balagwelyn's head is invisible, not buried in the ground or anything surreal like that.

His whole neck is gone.

There were traces of his left arm outstretched in a final attempt to resist, but he soon fell to the ground without power.

The end of the great demon, who was said to be the strongest of all, came without any excitement.
